Being Used? That Sucks.

I hate being used. 

No one likes being used if they don't get something out of it too, right? Plus being used usually sucks. You get hurt in the process or you end up (intentionally or unintentionally) hurting others. Whatever the end result, it's usually always bad.

But that only happens with people.

People have the ability to use us and hurt us but you know what? I LOVE being used by God.

I mean as Christian that seems kind of obvious right? For some people, yeah. But for others "being used" comes with such a negative connotation that they get scared and stuck in complacency in their live or their walk with God.


But get this: 
Being Used By God Only Brings Good To Yourself And Others.

If God is using us to build His kingdom, what better use for my life? What better used for my life than to glorify Him in everything I do? Our entire lives, our struggles, our battles, our storms, our stories are meant to be used; but, they're not meant to be used by other people in ways that are not glorifying to God or serving His purpose. People can use our stories if it's used in a way that's reaching others far from God that think they can't be used. However if people use our personal struggles to hurt us or manipulate us, that's not okay. If we're being used, it's only meant in a way to better and build God's kingdom.

You might feel stuck in your life right now. Christian or non- Christian, it happens to us all of us. But what better way to get unstuck than to let God use your life to glorify Him?
I mean come on how cool is it that Jesus wants to use YOU in His divine and ultimate plans? I personally think that's the best thing ever.

Knowing my struggles and hard times in life can be used by God for nothing but good gives me hope and motivation to keep going and not to let myself become stuck.

Let God use your life and your story to bring hope to other around you, to build His kingdom, to let others know that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and that light is Jesus waiting with with open arms calling you home to safety and to having abundance in Him.
